Most critical 4 game stretch ever?!?!?

[Bronn]

So, do you all think our next four games are the most critical series we have ever had, not including end-of-season or post-season?

If we can come out of this with at least two wins, I think we are still in very good shape in the NFC.

Ideally, we'll come out at 4-0, but GB, SEA, NO, and PHI could ultimately shape the tone of the rest of the season for us.

Beat GB, SEA, and PHI, and it is ultimately another L against each of them once the end of the season positioning race begins.

GB has looked average at times, and has trouble with teams built like ours.

SEA has looked very bipolar this year. I don't think Dallas is as good as they are playing, and I never thought they would beat Seattle at Seattle.

 

PHI is playing rather well for their talent level, and honestly worries me the most.

 

NO is our only real competition for the NFCS... Even that might be giving them too much credit, though... but a W is a W when it comes to your division...

 

Cleveland could be a trap game... Minnesota doesn't scare me... Not scared at all of the Bucs or the Falcons...

[CelibatePimp]

You can't call Cleveland a trap game. They are playing extremely well right now.

No the most critical 4 game stretch ever was the 2003-2004 playoffs.

[PandaPancake]

Yes, it is. If you're a teenage girl.

This.  They're a pretty darn good football team.

[WhoAmI?]

Plus, the Browns will have Josh Gordon back on top of their dominant running game. Not a trap game at all.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

If there is a trap game on the schedule, it's the Vikings.

[YoungPanthers89]

I'd say the superbowl was a wee bit more

[pstall]

Nice gauntlet compared to the Rams. I will be ecstatic with 2-2.

[teeray]

2-2 leaves us in pretty good shape.

Damn some of y'all can't read for poo.

 

On the Cleveland "trap" game... I figured we have a good shot at putting together a good little win streak going into that one, and thought we might overlook them based on their not-so-recent history...

That said, I'm still not that afraid of Brian Hoyer. The guy is having a great year so far, don't get me wrong, but he has good talent around him and hasn't really had THAT tough of a schedule tbqh. I think the Browns in general are riding a little high right now than they are in reality.

[UpstatePanther]

as bipolar as the NFL has been this season, no game is a given. Panthers will have to fight for 60 full minutes of every game they play. the upside to that is that if the Panthers do win the division/make the playoffs/have back-to-back winning records, it will be so much more sweet to enjoy. all that being said, we need to go 2-2 in the next four games, preferably winning the games against Green Bay and New Orleans. losing to Seattle and Philly wouldnt hurt us as much as losing a common game (GB) or a division game (NO). i think if we play to our talent level and get alittle luck, we can win all four games. i do believe these next four will define the rest of our season. 0-4 will be nearly impossible to rebound from. 1-3 is one of the more likely outcomes but wont be a total disaster. 2-2 is another likely outcome and would set us up nicely (especially with a division win against the saints), anything above 2-2 would be absolutely outstanding for our season.

Ever?

These four are the most critical. 

 

Until the next four.
